N2 - We present a synergistic combination of simulations and experimental data on the dynamics of membrane adhesion. We show that a change in either the density or the strength of the bonds results in very different dynamics. Such behavior is explained by introducing an effective binding affinity that emerges as a result of the competition between the strength of the chemical bonds and the environment defined by the fluctuating membrane.
